Oneness has no choices, as that requires more than one – and that is why, it is nothing but peace

To appear as a hero in a virtual world like a video game seems often more exciting than what one appears to be in the physical world – just like being someone definitive in a world where there seems to be more than one, may seem more exciting than having nothing but the peace that which is one. The graphic is grabbed from the web.

As oneness is formless and therefore endless, there is no more than that which is one, and as it takes more than one to experience something, any experience – falling in love, having a high consciousness or being transformed into to this and that – is an illusion.

For the same reason, there is nowhere to go. But as nothing is missing in that which is one, since it is endless and therefore everything, it is not necessary to go anywhere. That is why it is one perpetual present of peace.

In one perpetual present no one is special and no one takes up more space than another one, because there is no more than that which is one.

One perpetual present is not exciting though. There is nothing to search for, explore and be excited about because there is no future. Everything is there simultaneously in one eternal now. But most of all because it is not possible to be someone specific in one perpetual present, as that requires differentiation, so there is nobody to explore and be excited about anything, That is why it is nothing but peace.

The experience of movement in this image requires more than one, because without somebody watching it, it is totally still. The graphic is grabbed from the web.

As it requires more than one to describe something, that which is one cannot be described, so the above description should not be taken literally. Neither should it be taken as a pointer to that which is one, as it also requires more than one to point to something. In this context, the description or any other in Alexius´ Enlightened Non-Teachings rather points towards the illusion of experiencing, realising or understanding something at all, as that requires more than one.

A world where there seems to be more than one can within the framework of such a world be compared to a video game, that you play when you want something more exciting than reality. And as long as you find excitement in exploring the deeper levels of the virtual world of such a game, you will keep playing it.

The more you play such a game, however, the more you will feel lost, because to get excited you must give up that which is real and pretend to be someone in a virtual world. In other words, the price of excitement is to give up the peace of oneness, since excitement can only be experienced where there seems to be more than one.

The excitement of more versus the peace of no more that which is one
As it takes more than one to be excited about something and as peace is that which is one there is no excitement in oneness. Hence you cannot get both of them. In fact, you cannot get any of them, since it requires more than one to get something.

Fortunately, you do not need to get peace, because that which is you is no different from that which is one and oneness is nothing but peace. But if you think that there must be more than one, you are always in need of excitement as it seems to prove there is more than one. Yet you are never satisfied. There always seems to be more levels explore and more to transform, when you believe there is more than that which is one.

You are not the victim of the world, neither of the ego, so before you can have the belief that you are someone definitive undone, you must acknowledge, that it is you who have chosen to believe so. The graphic is grabbed from the web.

You may blame the world for never getting enough. Yet that is not the cause but the belief that it is possible to be and have more than that which is one. It is you who choose to believe this, and this choice you will not be motivated to change as long as there is hope for new experiences of excitement triggered by for example a very special person, the latest gadget or the promise of a new and deeper way to transform what you appear to be into something better and/or higher.

When you know, that no lasting excitement to get in the future and that it was you who started this endless quest for more, you are ready to not get excited and make a choice for peace.

Well, you cannot choose that, but you can choose to not choose what is not peace, namely whatever that seems to excite you.

A way to start undoing the belief that it is possible to be and have more than that which is one is to question yourself, if more excitement is equal to less suffering.

You may be a fool running after more, but you are not stupid, so when you see that more is never enough and whatever you get more of entails more suffering, you will automatically correct the belief that more it is possible to be and have more than that which is one.

The above is not meant to make you fill guilty about wanting more (or less) than that which is one. To do so is part of appearing in a world, where there seems to be more than one, so you are just doing what you are supposed to do. The question, however, is if you are getting what you are supposed to get. If not, you can choose to not choose what appears to be more than one.

You are not in a hurry though. Time is an illusion and as there is no more than that which is one, this is still that which is you, even though a world where there seems to be more than one seems to hide it.

The price of greed is fear. The graphic is grabbed from the web.

APPENDIX:
Greed for being or having more is what keeps you going in a world, where there seems to be more than one, but it is also what makes your frustrated, because no matter how much how much more you become or get, it is not enough. You need more, and it must be larger, better, faster, wilder, deeper or purer. You are afraid of not getting it, and if you get it, you are afraid of losing it. Even if you do not lose it, you are afraid it is not good enough. In other words, the price of being and/or having more is suffering.

If you are stranded in a desert, there is no lasting solution but to leave it. The same applies to appear in a world where there seems to be more than one. There is no real solution to the constant fear of not having enough because nothing lasts in such a world. You need to sleep, again and again, you need more and more food and so on.

It is not the world as such, you need to leave in order to have enough and not be afraid of losing what you have. It is the belief, that it is possible to be and have more than that which is one, that needs to be undone so that this belief does not appear to hide there is no more the peace of that which is one.

Undoing this belief is not an act of doing or not doing something, as it is not possible to be or have more than that which is one. In other words, you should not go with your own speed in your own time, because only in a world where there seems to be more than one, can you have something of your own.

Welcome to the present version of Alexius´ Enlightened Non-Teachings

At the beginning of writing Alexius´ Enlightened Non-Teachings, new articles were published almost daily. Most of them, however, were not proofread. Alexius could not do it because he did not understand them. Nor does he nowadays. Fortunately, because if he did, they would be real.

Thus it is a metaphor when saying, the writing of them has conjured up a flow that facilitates the fine-tuning of the past articles so currently, he spends more time on this than writing new ones.

Yet, in the process of doing this, new articles come into being. They are continually added to the table of contents, where the old ones are updated or in the process of being it.

WHAT TO DO
As there is no more than that which is one, a world where there seems to be more than one is not real, but a simulated reality layered on top of oneness. Thus nothing needs to be changed but the belief that you are someone there.

HACKING THE BELIEF IN BEING SOMEONENot knowing what and where you are is the fastest way to undo the belief in being someone, as this is the invitation the enlightenment of that which is one patiently is waiting for.

In no time you go from appearing to be someone definitive to not appear at all so that there is nothing to hide the formlessness of that which is one (hack #4-7).

TO BE IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF IT
If you want to appear a little longer in the world without being of it and therefore not being burdened by its apparent problems, you pretend to be there, because what you pretend to be you are not (hack #1).

When every experience is perceived to symbolise non-duality, you are a symbol of that and not a manifestation of duality (hack #2).

Not being exclusive but inclusive, there is nothing to define you, so even though you appear to be there, you are not (hack #3).

Acknowledging you are alone together (hack #8) is another way of appearing to be in a world of separation without being of it.

Connecting with the inner breath (hack #4) you do not perceive the apparent differences of the world to make a difference so you cannot be established as someone in it.

WHERE TO START
Read Alexius´ Enlightened Non Teachings from start to finish or browse them in any way beneficial for unlearning what and where you believe to be. If that is the motivation for reading, one or more of the duality hacks will apply themselves.

This you will not see, because the result of them is nothing. Hence there is not something, that seems to cause problems.
